Also what was the vocal chain?
Thanks for doing this.

Steven's scream is not quiet! He's got a lot of power and energy behind it.

When we used speakers, instead of headphones, sometimes had a Shotgun 405, into the Spectrasonics pre, then an LA-2A and into a PEQ-1A. Other times, with phones, a U-87 followed by the same chain.
